Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA

Friday, May 22, 2009


I just came back from a visit to Boston, and had a chance to revisit one of my favorite museums in the world, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.  The link to their website is http://www.gardnermuseum.org/index.asp.  Spring is a great time to visit this museum because of its beautiful garden courtyard that is always brimming with flowers.

Isabella Stewart Gardner first welcomed visitors to her museum on New Year's Day, 1903. On that evening guests listened to the music of Bach, Mozart, and Schumann, gazed in wonder at the courtyard full of flowers, and viewed one of the nation's finest collections of art. Today, visitors experience much the same thing. The Gardner Museum has remained essentially unchanged since its founder's death in 1924. Unchanged but certainly not stagnant. Three floors of galleries surround a garden courtyard blooming with life in all seasons.
